Point Earned, Streak Secured: Devils Outlast Penguins 2-1 in SO Thriller

  Photo: Andrew MacLean This thrilling Metropolitan Division clash was a goaltending masterclass from both ends of the ice. The New Jersey Devils ultimately prevailed in the shootout, defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-1 to secure their second consecutive victory and extend their perfect season-opening home winning streak to seven games. The Devils' win was anchored by netminder Jake Allen, who stopped a stunning 33 of 34 shots through regulation and overtime. Across the ice, the resilient Penguins earned a crucial point, thanks to rookie Arturs Silovs—who turned away 23 of 24 shots while holding the Devils' potent offense in check, an impressive feat for an injury-riddled squad missing six key players.

   Nashville opened the scoring - Michael McCarron gave the Predators the 1-0 lead with a one-timer. A dump-in by Roman Josi's shot bounced off the post behind the net and popped out into the slot, and McCarron was able to strike his seventh goal of the season. Philip Tomasino drove towards the net, getting the puck over Mads Sogaard's glove, and gave Nashville the 2-0 lead. Tipping in a shot from the point by Dante Fabbro, Yakov Trenin got his first goal in 17 games with a minute left and the Predators lead 3-0.


   The Senators start getting on the board... Drake Batherson scores the first goal for Ottawa. Batherson took a cross-crease pass coming from Brady Tkachuk and tucked the puck around Juuse Saros' left pad. Mathieu Joseph passed the puck to Tim Stutzle on the rush and beat Saros' glove side with a great wrist shot. After winning a puck battle off the face-off with 2:50 remaining in the middle frame, Brady Tkachuk gets one past Saros with a snap shot high blocker and ties it 3-3.


   The entire third period remained a 3-3 score... heading into overtime.
